Just to echo the comments above. The article is wrong; there is no “save as” option dialogue choice ie Downloads does NOT invite a choice of where to save a file. The only way is to go through the laborious process of re-defining the default download folder. Just dire!
Like many folk I work on several projects at once; I need to download email attachments, on-line files, docs, media files into separate folders. Edge won’t do this unlike EVERY OTHER browser! Even good old IE didn’t. Microsoft is just a weird software developer to actually REMOVE an important bit of functionality. SMH.
The Downloads process is now DIFFERENT. It is in the top right and it DOES NOT ask you to choose a folder. It is stuck with the default that you can set. But that is NOT how I like to work.
Hi.
I’m italian, so please excuse me if I don’t speak English very well. I can’t find anymore the “save as” function that allowed me to choose the location in which I want to save each file I download (Version 90.0.818.46 (Build ufficiale) (64 bit)).
I am a developer, and each file I download is meant to be in its correct folder, and I can’t loose my time changing the location for each one of them.
If this feature (“Always ask where to download this file”) is no more available I will be forced to dismiss Edge to use Firefox, that allows me to choose.
Hope you will find it worth to fix, thanks.
